Mayor Greg Fischer is sponsoring a special promotion for food trucks on Tuesday, when about 10 vendors will line Jefferson and Sixth streets downtown around Metro Hall between 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

"We are becoming quite the foodie town, and I want to make sure that everyone knows the amazing opportunities we have in Louisville, from the fanciest of white tablecloth restaurants to the mobile food vendors on our streets," Fischer said. "I want to encourage downtown works, conventioneers and visitors to try one or more of them."

Leah Stewart, owner of the Louisville Dessert Truck, said, "Having an opportunity to bring food trucks together in one event gets the word out about what we have to offer and gives people the opportunity to try out a few different vendors in one location."
